You've got the point :-) BindImage[Ex]() is only an imagehlp compatible wrapper, which I have written later. And it works, so I haven't recognized this. > > 1) some that go to stdout probably should be stderr, and vice versa. still open.

These may be fine. For building and debugging a standalone rebase i think it is good. For the setup integration we can change this later. > 3) some aren't even guarded at all, and should be.

Maybe I should have said: Yes, there is a way, but *when* it breaks, you get to keep the pieces. Max.

Very strange. I specifically removed uptime.exe in my postinstall process but it was definitely there. When I reran the build it disappeared. I've uploaded a new version of sh-utils based on the port available at alpha.gnu.org. It removes uptime.exe but that means that uptime.exe will be completely gone from your system after updating to this version of sh-utils. I wonder if Chris January would mind either making a new release of procps or bumping up the release number on the current one? That would probably just require renaming the bin tarball and repackaging the source tarball. Once that number is bumped, people will get uptime automatically. cgf

config.guess from dejagnu-20021217-1 installed in wrong directory
Hi dejagnu-20021217-1 installs config.guess in /usr/sbin but runtest is searching for in /usr/share/dejagnu or /usr/share/dejagnu/libexec resulting in: 02:17 PM [513]> runtest --version ERROR: Couldn't find config.guess program. Also depending on your PATH statement runtest.exp is only found when /usr/bin is in front of /bin. This is not a big problem because DEJAGNULIBS can take care of this. Ciao Volker
Two versions of uptime, one in procps-010801-2 and one in sh-utils-2.0-3
Hi There are two versions of uptime in the cygwin distro. The one from sh-utils-2.0-3 seems to be none functional. 05:23 PM [513]> uptime uptime: couldn't get boot time: Bad file descriptor The one in procps-010801-2 works for me. Ciao Volker
